11 <br /> • Parking Lot Improvements- $533,742 <br /> This project is a combination of parking lot repairs, resealing, and repaving across multiple <br /> county facilities. This includes evaluating each parking lot for safety and sufficiency as well as <br /> the addition of green spaces. The FY2024-25 funding would resurface the parking lot at <br /> Southern Human Services and resurface the original spaces outside of the Robert & Pearl <br /> Seymour Center. Replacements and repairs are guided by a Parking Lot Assessment study. <br /> • Plumbing Repairs - $212,155 <br /> The Plumbing Repair project is a combination of major plumbing repairs across multiple <br /> county facilities and includes backflow preventers, hot water heaters, sinks, toilets, water <br /> fountains, and other plumbing-related items. In FY2024-25, funding is recommended to <br /> replace the Animal Services water buffer tank and to add water valves and protection around <br /> the tank, replace water heater and water fountain at the Orange County Main Library, and to <br /> update plumbing fixtures at the Efland Cheeks Community Center. Each replacement is <br /> focused on water-saving devices such as aerators and dual handles in county facilities. <br /> • Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations-$50,000 <br /> The Climate Action Plan identified the electrification of vehicles as an important strategy to <br /> curb greenhouse gas emissions. This project would be used to leverage grant funds to add <br /> publicly available electric vehicle charging stations throughout the County. Locations have <br /> been identified using an equity-informed process with a focus on public-facing land and <br /> facilities that are owned/operated by the public sector. Suitability was measured using <br /> weighted factors to identify the best locations for new charging stations. Weighted factors <br /> included average daily traffic, future development, population density, parks, multifamily <br /> units, subsidized housing, naturally occurring affordable housing, black owned businesses, air <br /> quality, points of interest, existing charging locations. <br /> • Register of Deeds Automation - $80,000 <br /> The Register of Deeds Automation project is funded using automation fees that are <br /> specifically designated by State Statute to improve technology capabilities in the Register of <br /> Deeds Office. Each year, the County budgets $80,000 which is allowed to accumulate over <br /> time to make significant technology investments. <br /> • Roofing- $55,000 <br /> The roofing project is used to maintain and replace roofing on County facilities. These <br /> replacements and repairs are prioritized based on a Roof Asset Management Plan. The <br /> funding recommended in FY2024-25 provides $55,000 for the annual roof inspection and <br /> repair program. <br /> • Solar Photovoltaic Systems- $779,559 <br /> Installing solar photovoltaic systems at County facilities is another important strategy to meet <br /> the County's goal of using 100% renewable energy by 2050. The FY2024-2025 funding <br /> request includes a feasibility study to determine which existing structures are good <br /> candidates for a solar photovoltaic system installation.
